BAYOU LA BATRE, Ala. — Authorities searched coastal waters Wednesday for the bodies of four children whom police say were thrown off a bridge by their father, who is charged with four counts of capital murder.

Detective Scott Riva said Lam Luong, 37, of Irvington confessed Tuesday night to driving to the Dauphin Island bridge, stopping and tossing the youngsters off the span, which is as high as 80 feet above the water in places.

At least three boats were being used in the search, and the Coast Guard was sending another boat and a helicopter, Riva said.

"It's been a nightmare," said Riva.

Missing and presumed dead were 4-month-old Danny Luong; 1-year-old Lindsey Luong; 2-year-old Hannah Luong; and 3-year-old Ryan Phan. Phan is not the man's biological child, but Luong raised him from infancy.

Police Chief John Joyner said the act appeared to be an act of revenge aimed at Luoung's wife, the Press-Register of Mobile reported.

Luong is jailed in Mobile, and Riva said he did not know whether the man had a lawyer. There was no telephone listing for Luong, who was due in court Wednesday.

Police said Luong reported the children missing Monday. He reportedly told authorities that a woman who had the children failed to return them to him.

Sometimes, I think our legal system is too good for some people.

As those of us, who have been in LE can attest, going after someone's kids because you have a beef with the adult is cruel, cowardly and as low as you can get.

If you have a beef with someone, take it up with them. Don't take it out on their kids, who are defenseless.

Sadly, it's cultural.

I could do without ever hearing this kind of news. The first responders will never forget. It really hit harder when you have kids.

Wife works in a major non-profit that supports key first gen Asian programs. Also grew up in a predominately Asian culture, mainly Philipino and Thai/Cambodian.

You get to know these things.

Only good news is that this is AL and he will get the needle. The bad news is as follows:

a.) It will still take about 17 years.
b.) The needle is to good for this son of a bitch.
